Can you make this more fun and ask George or your favorite virtual 
correspondent for a Python or Mathematica implementation?  Then we’d have 
something definite to debug.

Same setup as before. Cylinder with two plungers and a peggable slider at dead 
center.  Lets fill our compartments with bbs of the same volume. Unpeg the 
divider.  Now lets tap on the two opposite plungers with a series of blows of 
the same average magnitude but different but different positive skew in the 
distribution of magnitudes. Will the divider move?
